US /vs/ EU ignitor module, HELP PLEASE?

I'm no guru, just a methodical bodger

You say it does turn over but dies again... that to me points to another possibility: circuit opening relay going bad.
The fuel pump is powered through this relay under operating conditions. EXCEPT when starting, in which case it gets direct current through the ignition key.
Relays are also known to exhibit warm weather problems in cars, I found a bunch of mentions of similar issues in honda civics.

Run a direct 12V feed to your pump to rule this out, or attach a light to the existing feed and check if the light stays lit after starting.

I'm not saying this is your problem, but it pays to know what is NOT the problem, so check out everything you possibly can.

BTW, Thanks for the offer but I'm quite happy over here on the old continent :wink:

PS: are you the Red from club4ag that had his car stolen a few years ago?
